WHOLESALE FLOWER CARE & HANDLING

Wholesale Flower Hydration and Care

Your fresh flowers will need to be hydrated upon arrival.

First, prepare buckets with filtered water to preclude the presence of chlorine. If flower food is available, mix the appropriate quantity into the water. Next, proceed to cutting 1/2- 1 inch off your flower stems at an angle (with a sharp knife NOT scissors), and immediately place them into the water filled buckets. As a tip, cutting stems under water helps prevent bubbles from forming inside the stems.

Once all flowers have been trimmed, keep your flowers at a cool temperature out of direct sunlight and in a location with good airflow. Most non-tropical flowers do best in temperatures hovering near 45 degrees and when placed in shaded areas. Tropical flowers , on the other hand, require temperatures above 45 degrees.

Do not keep your flowers in a food refrigerator since ethylene gas may be present from fruits and vegetables , which will prematurely age your flowers.

Hydrangea, Iris, Gerberas, Rannuculus, Lisianthus, and Freesia: These flowers are water thirsty. Keep them in water as much time as possible since they require higher hydration levels than other flowers. Add flower preservative and change their water periodically.

Snapdragons: Keep upright and away from warm surfaces.

How Do I Make My Flower Blooms Open?

If you need your flowers to open up faster, pour warm water in a bucket and add one spoon of sugar to hydrate your flowers. Warm water can stimulate your flower buds to open. Also, placing your flowers in a location with indirect light can accelerate the blooming process. You can also try heating the blooms gently with a hair-dryer outfitted with a diffuser. The warm air will act like the sun’s rays, encouraging the flowers to open.

What Can I Use to Hydrate My Flowers Instead of Floral Preservative?

If you do not have floral preservative to hydrate your flowers, pour one drop of bleach and one spoon of sugar into a bucket filled of water. This will have the same effect as using floral preservative. Research conducted by flower farms has demostrated that one drop of bleach in the water will keep bacteria away enabling your flowers to last longer and look radiant. Sugar helps open the flowers faster.

Wholesale Rose Hydration and Care

Carefully unpack your roses. They will need to be hydrated upon arrival.

Cut one inch off the end of the rose stem in a 45-degree angle (with a sharp knife NOT scissors) to enable water to be better absorbed through the stems. Place your roses in clean, fresh, warm water. Over the rose's vase life, carefully remove leaves, thorns or foliage that fall into the water to prevent bacteria buildup.

Keep roses in a shaded, cool, relatively humid area. For storage purposes, keep roses as cool as possible (down to 40F.) Avoid placing roses near hot surfaces.

Some growers do not remove guard (outer, worn) petals developed by roses as a preservation defense. If you receive roses with guard petals, carefully remove them before arranging your roses.

Do not keep your roses in the refrigerator since ehtlylene gas, produced by fruits and vegetables, can prematurely age your roses and other flowers.

Wholesale Tropical Flower Hydration and Care (Anthuriums, Bird of Paradise, Heliconia & Orchids)

Unpack your flowers upon receipt. Cut the stems one inch at an angle with a sharp knife under water. Place flowers in warm water for at least 10-15 minutes before arranging them. Tropical flowers need to be kept in filtered water at all times to ensure freshness.

Birds of Paradise: The Bird of Paradise flower is grown in a tropical climate and should be kept at temperatures over 50F. To hydrate, soak the flower head in warm water for 20 minutes to assist the flower to open.

Anthuriums: Best if kept at temperatures over 65F. This tropical flower does not tolerate lower temperatures well. Use clean, fresh, warm water for your anthuriums.

Heliconia: Heliconia flowers are cold sensitive, tropical flower.s Keep at temperatures over 55F.

Orchids: Keep Orchids in filtered water at all times. The ideal temperature to achieve long lasting blooms is 55F to 65F during the day and 60F to 62F at night. Do not place orchids in a refrigerator since this will damage their blooms. Aso, do not sprinkle water on orchid blooms since this can damage the petals giving them a transparent look. Whole Blossoms Orchids are cut and hydrated just prior to delivery. They come ready to be displayed and do not need to be processed before your wedding or event.
